Worgen are cursed warriors whose bestial blood grants them the ability to transform into elemental wolf-like creatures. Each Worgen is aligned with a primal path—fire, frost, shadow, or lunar energy. Their power is drawn from moon phases, the terrain beneath their feet, and the fury of nature itself.

 

Savage, intelligent, and mystical, Worgen are both guardians and predators. In battle, they tear through enemies with natural weapons, empower allies with radiant howls, or stalk prey through the shadows.

 

Worgen can be played as warriors of elemental balance, cursed survivors, or proud defenders of nature.

Ability Scores: When you reach a level that grants an Ability Score Improvement, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores of your choice by 1. You can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

 

If your DM uses the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
